Friends Of Friends releasing Real Life, Right Now EP
Embrace The Heartfelt Narratives And Raw Authenticity Of Suburban Brisbane Through Friends Of Friends’ Debut EP
The FRIENDS OF FRIENDS band have crafted an impactful and emotionally charged offering in their genre-blending synth-rock and rock pop EP, “Real Life, Right Now.” Emerging from Australia’s vibrant Brisbane music scene, this remarkable trio doesn’t only create songs; they weave poignant narratives and unfiltered emotions that resonate deeply with listeners.
Known for their earnest songwriting and intoxicating melodies, FRIENDS OF FRIENDS are a must-listen for fans of bands like The 1975 or Phoenix.
This EP doesn’t just resonate; it reverberates through your soul, leaving you both contemplative and inspired. “Great, Lethal Modern Rock,” as Triple J Radio describes them in Australia, doesn’t even begin to encapsulate their unique place in the indie rock terrain.
The project “Real Life, Right Now EP,” released after an explosive headline tour in May and an unforgettable performance at Spilt Milk, dives deeply into themes of life and mortality. The poetic and poignant songwriting seemingly lifts pages directly from the band’s diaries, offering intimate glimpses into their emotional tapestry.

As Barnaby Baker’s powerful, amazing male vocals lead the charge, multi-instrumentalist Frank Christian and drummer Morgan Blake masterfully craft the indie melodic pop rock soundscape that transforms each track into an anthem.
“This trio has crafted tracks that are both genuinely heartfelt and irresistibly dynamic,” I noted as PopHits.Co’s music curator.
Earning nods from none other than Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and Fort Minor, who attended their live show in Brisbane, FRIENDS OF FRIENDS exudes a genuine, unrefined essence of suburban Australia.
The lineup, finalized in 2022, consists of best friends whose chemistry is palpable; their music resonates with the visceral authenticity and high emotional connection with their audience that characterizes bands like Foster The People and Two Door Cinema Club.
Their journey as a DIY group only adds to their appeal, showcasing their resolve to rise on their own terms and their unyielding dedication to their craft. As Ungrained Magazine admirably states, “There’s no sign of slowing down for this rockstar three-piece.”
FRIENDS OF FRIENDS seamlessly blend their influences, creating an intoxicating mix of indie pop, rock pop, and synth rock. The five tracks on “Real Life, Right Now” are more than just songs; they are candid narrations urging listeners to reflect on the impermanence of existence while cherishing moments that matter.
This EP’s storytelling element is something today’s youth can profoundly relate to. “Their sound is a banger, carrying the sense of urgency and resolve that defines modern indie rock,” I can’t help but express after countless listens.
For those keen to uncover the brilliance of FRIENDS OF FRIENDS, the invitation is open. Get wrapped in their world of indie rock and rock pop, where each note and lyric promises an emotional journey.
